The Lupin/Snape Lurve Community

Title: That Dear Octopus (Part 1 of 3)
Author: westernredcedar
Summary: Severus has cultivated a life isolated from his family, but now his estranged mother and grandmother have rescued him from the brink of death. Oh, and then there is Remus...
Rated: PG (this part)
Characters and Pairings: Severus/Remus, Minerva/OFC, Eileen
Warnings: AU, in that this is a post-DH Remus/Severus
Word count: ~6000, this part

Notes: Written for lupin_snape Family Fest. I was inspired by two of the prompts, which are under the cut at the end, because they are misleading and possibly spoilery.
I told myself I would never post any thing as a WIP again, but I really wanted to start to post this during Family Fest, and this fic exploded on me, AND I'm doing LMoM, so the next two parts will come eventually, but not for a bit. Sorry.
Thank you to my dear blpaintchart for the beta/brit-pick and general support and helpfulness. *kiss*

Title: Fathers, Lovers
Author: mnemosyne_1
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~2,000
Summary: Remus discovers that Severus won't walk away in the hard times... and he always finishes what he started.
A/N: Squeaking this last Family Fest fic in before I leave for the rest of the week and am sans internet. I figured I had to balance out the darkness in the last one. ;)

Warnings: I hate warnings. I don’t think anyone dies…
Notes: This story was started before the release of Deathly Hallows and is therefore non-compliant with that storyline. I leave it to the reader whether they judge it to be AU. Beta was gifted to me by the extraordinary Dillis. Thanks to lore for running the fest!

ETA: I have made a very small, and insignificant changes to this part and a couple of later parts after some concrit from lore (thanks!). The narrative is unchanged.

I've actually been working on some of these forever, and thought it might be a good idea to finish them up and add some new ones for Family Fest!

Before the fun stuff, though, I wanted to remind everyone that we have a generous donation offer on the table, so if you can get wrapped up by the end of the day in your time zone tomorrow (April 30), please try to do so! Also, at Midnight tonight, I'll be opening up a one-day drabble challenge to wrap up the fest. However, so as not to artificially inflate the donation results, I'll be asking that all drabbles appear in reply to my post. It should be crazy fun!

The icons under the cut are mostly from art by ghot and might be considered NOT WORK SAFE by some standards. Please click with caution if you are not on a private machine.

( And now, the icons! Some possibly NWS- )

I should probably apologise here for spamming the asylum... and the shmoopy quality of the next two parts.

Woohoo, finally! It's over! We now return you to your regularly scheduled program...

( Parts 13 and 14 of 14 )

So... the plot bunnies went away for the family fest, and I can't draw, but I wanted to contribute. When lore posted her icons I decided to attempt some graphics. I managed to get two icons done based on her bases and ghot's art. Feel free to use them, but make sure you credit ghot for her art.

( Could be considered NWS in some circles. )

Just squeaking this expanded drabble in at the end. I hadn't actually planned to contribute anything this time, but there you go... :)
